If it was in a particular race in 1976... which race? That will narrow down the guesses.
I also want this to end.

No. It doesn't relate to any of the championship contenders, driver or otherwise.

Note: From now on I will try and give a hint as to why a guess isn't correct.

Wild one. The number of racing laps at the British GP was the same as the year (76).

Unlikely to be right, since Monaco '78 would repeat this occurrence (or maybe already occurred with 75 laps back in 1975).

Next guess: The only GP thus far in history in which multiple female drivers entered, though i the end they didn't qualify for the race.

Oh thank you. This is the answer I was looking for.

I guess it is up to you to field the next one.

Yay!! Will give it some thought.

The answer was pretty straightforward in the end. Knowing which race definitely helped.

I'm surprised it took so long. It turned out that 1976 was quite a season for one offs and cool trivia. I learned many new things.
